What sort of bollocks news is this?

Nairaland is gone!

DeLaRue:
This is very interesting.

I get the feeling the US will help Nigeria whereever they can, that is why they are sending their Deputy Finance Minister. Make no mistake, this is about the economy.

The only problem I see is that Republicans in the US Congress will try and block anything that requires their approval.

The US government has been impressed with Mr Tinubu's free market agenda and see him as someone they can work with. This contrasts with South Africa 's socialist (pro Russia) tendencies.

The US also needs Nigeria to be on their side in the quest for influence in Africa, and so, I expect the US will reward Nigeria with favourable policies for not joining Brics.

Kids shouting from the roof tops that Nigeria should join Brics just don't understand international politics.

You go to where your bread will be buttered. In the present world order, the butter is in the US's hands.

Total balderdash from a delusional nincompoop!

Whatever happens today won’t be the end of Nigeria..

Politics is all about interest.. .. would be a plus.. to me if druggie is reconfirmed..

Might not be overall interest of the country or best.. but for my pocket and family right now ..


Atiku remains a Boss with clear prospect of tackling Nigeria situations.. having been there .. he knows exactly what we need as a country and how to get Nigeria out of it ..
yes he has done it before with his Boss OBJ.. coming from military regime to steadying democracy and building Nigeria economy..I remain loyal to my party and my boss


Obi.. hmmm … if not for Yoruba sentiments of abusing the whole Igbo tribe .. as their useless propaganda of making it look like an ethnic cry..
Knowing well how he won

Benin
Rivers
Nassarawa
Jos
Lagos


All this outside igboland … when Yoruba media has decided to tribalise the election.. because of their tribal nature ..

The problem of nigeria is Yoruba and they will be the first to shout ..

If anything go south as it was in 66’

Is always the tribe that brings tribalism and hatred into everything ..

66” the brought media propaganda into the policy that saw a counter coup..5

This is something their press has hidden for years ..

Whatever ..

God bless Nigerians
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

You making the statement that the problem of Nigeria is Yoruba, this statement is more tribalistic than anything you want to even defend. Before you abuse me, I am Igbo.

helinues:
Would Obi presidency stop you from being uncultured?

Abi where is this nonsense coming from?

Hell-anus sorry ooo!!! This one enter!!

Offpointng:
But why are Ipobs happy on Coup happenings in Africa and wishing same on Nigeria??

Oh they think they'll live much better under Military rule?? A sect of people who cheer a domestic terrorism called "Sit at home" who in turn became a Nemesis to affect their well being can mean nothing to be but a Foolish people

It doesn't justify the fact that Nigeria is been run by possessed kleptomaniacs!! Run it aground let us start afresh!

Alliswell248:
Anything trash to massage your lost dignity is welcomed.
The same Obi who left Abuja or Lagos to attend a wedding in Kano.
Nothing special about him. If he is that special, he would be made the chairman of the occasion. The same Obi was at the opening of Dangote refinery, he wasn't even recognized.

Shetimma was there, and he left. He has class.

Like I always said.... nothing for you guys in Nigeria until you learn to be humble and start building bridge.

Ogbeni will you keep kwayet!! Is everything about politics? Can't you see how happy these men are to see PO? They have even forgotten they are struggling to take picture with a man who is ready to cut down their largesse if he gets to power. PO no care!

accordadoga24:
Some UNA GO SEE SHEGE crew will arrive here soon.

Whether we all see shege or not, Tinubu will rule us for 8 years then pass the baton to Shetima.

If you all saw shege in Ananmbra while Obi was a governor and you didn't die, nobody will die during Tinubu's adminstration.

Nigeria will be great.

You are a heartless soul. Even if not for Igbos that you love to hate, why not look at your brother's that are drenching in tears?

grandstar:
The issue has never been about those abusing the subsidy. The issue is the subsidy itself.

As at May 28 this year, a litre of crude oil used to process it into petrol cost 47cents per litre. Multiply that the unrealistic exchange rate at the time of 440 to a dollar and that brings the price to N208 per litre of crude oil. The petrol price then was 195 per litre

That means it was cheaper to buy petrol in Nigeria than the crude oil it is made from. It was even the unrealistic rate of 440 used. If the more realistic 770 rate is used, the figure will be more frightening. We are yet to add refining cost and all minor costs? The subsidy would have been at least 250 per litre. Multiply that by 50m litres a day [b](this is very conservative) [/b]and you have 12.5bn daily. Multiply that by 365 and you have around 4.65bn in a year. The government estimated that the fuel subsidy would cost about $10bn this year alone. This is about 2.2% of GDP.

Already, debt servicing was to consume 96% of government revenue this year. Where then is the more to subsidize petrol? The money no longer exists. The government is not borrowing for an investment that would yield interest to pay off the loan but something that would only add on to the country's unsustainable debt burden.

Is the subsidy removal biting my butt? Yes. I have only bought petrol once since the subsidy was removed. Do I support the removal? Yes. It was the right thing to do.

Even if the sub
sidy would cost the government nothing, it caused a lot of damage. It discouraged investment in the refining of crude oil. No one would build a refinery in a country where the government subsidizes the price of main products. Subsidy basically means selling it below the market price. Dangote and Bua could proceed because they could use their very profitable cement businesses as collateral.

Had the subsidy been done away with in the 1990s, by now, the country would be refining at least 2million barrels of crude oil daily. It would have a ripple effect on the oil industry and the economy. Nigeria would definitely be the no.1 petrochemical giant in Africa, same with fertilizer, second largest gas exporter in Africa, Africa's largest oil logistic hub and so on. The subsidy cost the country a lot of things. I won't be surprised if GDP would not be at least 3 times what it is today.

You are grossly St*PID!!

Ikaeniyan0:
Where will Niger get the money to buy the weapons? War cost a lot of money. Niger is a very poor country, every powerful country including China and Russia will choose Nigeria, ECOWAS and AU over Niger republic.

Nigeria military will overrun the Nigerien military and take over Niamey and most part of the country. The Niger military will only make use of guerilla tactics against Nigeria.

I'm not in support of an invasion sha. We should first solve insecurity issue in Nigeria.

Yoruba demon!

raskymonojendor:
That LP senator (Ireti Kingibe) said they have only been paid a little.

2 million is little to big men and women.

Irrespective of political parties, Nigerian politicians are United in looting

Kingibe no go know wetin hit am when obidients cook for am. Make she no go there begin move motions whey them send am to move. We will ask her to give account of her time in the red chambers on the judgement day.

Napata77:
OTTI SHOULD HAVE ASKED THESE SELF RIGHTEOUS OBIDIENT BULLIES, “So how many of YOU have bought and are using INNOSON vehicles? Or is it only govt that buys vehicles?”

THEIR SILENCE OF HYPOCRISY WOULD HAVE BEEN GOLDEN.

So if you catch a man fucking your wife in your matrimonial bed, the man will justify it by asking you if you never Bleep person babe before?

Yankee101:
We don’t export much besides a centralized oil market

So this is combined poverty loaded through devaluation and hyper inflation coupled with low wages and outright low/unemplyment

Plus increased tax that is still doing press up!!

bjdon:
Every Niara and Kobo spent on your education was a total waste!
How exactly is a govt supposed to strengthen the currency in the way you propose? Do you even understand how the FX market works? The Niara is weak because we IMPOTRT practically everything. Not only goods but now also services like Education (Parents paying school fees for wards abroad) and Health services (Paying for treatment in US, Europe, India). The former parallel market was nothing but a big scam, where connected individuals were getting FX at an artificially low rate (Subsidized by you and me) and then selling it on at the Black Market. What you see know is the TRUE value of Niara set by demand and supply.
There are winner and losers here, importers will suffer but exporters will enjoy, and that is what we need. Also foriegn investors will be encouraged to invest as their Fx will go further. I know a lot of Nigerians in the diaspora who are now looking at coming to invest in real estate and the stock market, as they money will now go further.
Nigerians must understand that a bit of pain is essential to reform this country. I say that as somebody who detests Tinubu, but the truth is if it's Tinubu, PO, or Atiku, Nigerians would still need to undergo some pain to get the country on the right track.

You are extremely St*PID!!

telim:
We dont know her and Which hole did this angeli crawl from

Nairaland is gone!

Acekidc4:
A Thief is a Thief weda you Steal ₦10 or ₦10 million.

But you are supporting Keyamo. Isn't that pathetic?

Acekidc4:
He should be hanged for saying that Stupid rubbish. Removal of fuel subsidy pushed him to become a Thief 🤔🤨 So you support his stupid foolish Reason🤔🤨 SMH for you🤨

This man you are calling a thief and Keyamo that diverted 52 million naira meant for creation of jobs for 700 Nigerian youths, who is a bigger thief?

NSNO:
Learn how to disagree with someone without resorting to insults. It tells people that you are a mature adult and not a child.

I am sorry bro. I am really suffering.

NSNO:
The adventure concerns him because we are neighbours, everything that affects them affects us.

Democracy is the best form of government because the people have choices, they can choose. Imagine that buhari was a military head of state, we would still be under his control today. That freedom to choose is a gift that alot of you coupist are taking for granted.

And another consequence of this coup is the lack of international standing. Nigeriens will suffer the consequences of this coup for years because of the short-sightedness of their leaders.

You are mad. I prefer Buhari hundred times to this useless illegitimate nincompoop that was appointed for us by the daft INEC chairman.

osuofia2:
So now that Kanu has ordered Ekpa to stop the nonsense and Ekpa has refused. What will you do.? Kill yourself

Even Ekpa tells us to stop, we must continue until they release Kanu.

osuofia2:
Blame the govt and leave the perpetrators are usual. It is well.

You are totally mad if you want to sideline or negate this simple truth

Gboom:
If the bold assertion is the truth, Ibo states supposed to be far ahead of other states in Nigeria but reverse is the case.
I still put it to you that the people that will speak for you to actualize biafra are the influencers among your people

Everything is not always about influencers, in Igbo land the so called influencers can be shut up by the mass mob anytime any day.
There is always disagreement in the land that is why the government always use such situation to permeate and impose their evil. The party system makes the highest bidders to win elections. At the end of the day the highest bidder rigs himself to power and transfer power to who ever he wishes. They don't always represent the choices of the people.

I can tell you that since the creation of Igbo land.
The true choice of the people that reflected in Guber elections as far as am aware are the emergence of
Sam Mbadiwe
David Nweze Umahi
Rochas Okorocha
Peter Obi.
Alex Otti

The sham of an election should be overhauled

No Igbo man wants to be cheated. Things should be shared accordingly and in transparency that is what we want. The Nigerian constitution was made by greedy thieves that is what we want you to realise. With this constitution, the country will remain underdeveloped till Jesus comes. Please go and study the Nigerian constitution in your quiet time.

The only influential person that will get the accolade of the average Igbo man is any man that is intelligent, upright, fair with judgement and has no string of corruption. Otherwise you will be insulted to eternity.

About our region not developed, the Biafra war set us 100 years backwards. Abinito we had locally made factories that were totally annihilated. The Nigerian government didn't give us anything to develop and repair the damages caused aftermath.

All our monies we had in the bank were confiscated.

Most people had to seek for means to survive by travelling to other regions that is why they have a long history of travelling away from home.

The truth is that we are nursing so much injury that I doubt if things can ever be the same. Why not let these people go by trying a free referendum but do we have a government that reason like humans?

Gboom:
There is no country where everyone is equal, just forget about it. If you eventually get your imaginary biafra it is the influential people that will be at the forefront and not the common people like you

I will tell you one truth. The influential people that will come to limelight are people who have the talent and have been deemed fit for the job by the great majority. Igbos are one of the greatest critics on earth which is a good braid for quality governance.
We have seen that the greatest sabotage we are facing in live is the government.
I will give you some recommendable citations to prove a point if you wish.

In UK where I am based. You can't tell a difference between a painter and a university lecturer. They both have same quality of life.

Gboom:
In your mumu mind, is this a real protest?
I'm very sure you are nobody always hiding on the keyboard to type gibberish from time to time.
Ask influential Ibo men and women whether they want biafra or not

Everything most not come from validation of influential individuals. Biafra wants everyone to be seen as equal that is the goal. Biafra wants a constitution that will not be skewed. Everyone should be equal. The problem of Nigeria is it's constitution....

FreeStuffsNG:
I knew it will get to this some day

There has been proliferation of different categories of pay and creating huge disparity within the system. The system will need to go back to its days of yore when there were no contess, conmess, conhess etc yet civil servants were motivated and well renumerated. Check my signature for free stuffs!

My problem with you is that you don't know shit! but always want to jump out to be first to comment so you can be noticed. Boy I am sorry to say this, political affiliation aside, you are a stack illiterate. All your analysis from the first day I take my time to read them, they make zero meaning. You will be a catastrophe in waiting. A resolution today going forward, I shall never read any of your post. Even Helinues who is widely and popularly known to be monumentally stupid still sounds smarter than you.

Dagger111:
It is very obvious that majority of you Obi's dogs are cr∆zy, you guys love connecting every anomaly to Mr President cos of the hatred you all have for him.

How sure are that it is not one of Obi's lap dogs that applied for Visa? I can't just comprehend you guys problem, God bare me the witness.

You all did more than this during Buhari 2 terms, you are also following same step for Jagaban. Reason why i love God is that, he doesn't compromise and he is not a human, just like us.

You are silly.... Even Tinubu lap dogs are already calling him out

jeromestarks:
One nice governor in Nigeria. Anambra is doing well.

Is it true that Anambra girls can fvck?

Someone told me that many of Anambra girls marry as a virgin even though they keep many boys when single.
However, the moment their husbands begin to fvck them, their pvssies open and they can even rape you if you don't want to give them your diick every night.

Na madness be this?

Dave!!
I will not deny the fact that he was one of the best governors South East ever produced, but his constant association with Tinubu is nauseating.

Tinubu will stain his white! Either with his emblem of corruption or with his brown drug infested teeth.

Thundafireseun:
I just watched the video

I didn’t see anything wrong with it

He was extremely laughing at the end of the video. And the senators also burst out into heavy laughter. It was cut off.

Tinubu is an international disgrace. The bed wetting hegoat has reduced the little respect other small African countries have for Nigeria to zero. Imagine Seychelles and Congo slamming us with visa ban. We are more useless than ever. Tinubu and his APShit dogs shall never see any peace even to their fifth generation.
